JACKPOT!!!!!

This is definitely the beatsie! The 8 years to flower even matches it's early arrival when we first cleared the land.

Thank you Dear Lady.

I like this tree when it's under control.

Well these trees are certainly not under control! (But I do enjoy the large leafy foliage and this is the first year it flowered.)

Dang, I just traced the National Parks DVD's I ordered for my dad and it says it delivered...the day we left. The housesitter would have brought it in when she came, but it's not here, so what is my recourse now, since it's my word against theirs?

Yes, it's amazing how huge the leaves are when they're young. I think they get smaller as the plant ages.

Good luck with it!

Nobody read the review? Too busy talking about plants? Wow. Just back from the Apple Store - when I talked to them about returning my newly-bought phone to replace with the 4G they said if I came in about noon there shouldn't be too long a wait. And I suppose they're right, if six hours isn't considered too long a wait. Unbelievable. I told them I'd be back tomorrow, and that if they were out of them that they'd have to do the return, activate my old 3G, and then when they get them back in I'll get it then. Six hours. It is to laugh. And the line started at five this morning.

Elmore, is the property even listed for sale?

DR Laura, my two brothers won't let a realtor list it because they don't want to pay a commission and I can do nothing with the fact they're foolish. The question is, are they expending any energy themselves to move it? Randy or Jo would be the one to do it. The Macbeths are two busy being complete creeps. I wouldn't stop to pee on Lady M if she were on fire.

DR edisaurus, confirm the delivery address.

I have read Mr. Del Valle's amusing, affectionate review. Very nice, though I wish it could have been a little more about the book and less about his connection to you. But all in all, a positive good thing. Hopefully, it will generate more sales.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #72 on:** June 24, 2010, 02:07:50 PM »

I don't see a way to trace it from USPS to find out where it was delivered, it just says it was delivered to my zip code.

We're talking about trees, you're talking about apples.

Nice review!

BK,

You probably covered this a few days ago, but with my doctor's appointments and subsequent surgery, I missed it.

Did you ever get your invoices back?

Druxy · « **Reply #76 on:** June 24, 2010, 02:32:18 PM »

I have to make another post, just so I can get beyond from 1984.

contact the seller and ask them to what address it was shipped.

Yes, invoices came back.

The review has already generated some sales today.

The lady who's helping with publicity tried to get me on something called The Joy Behar Show - as it turns out Joy is a huge Nudie Musical fan, and know my work well. However, they won't book me because I don't fit into their very narrow demographic. Oh, well.

Quiet day. I haven't been very hungry today & had to force myself to eat. The only good thing about not feeling well, I might lose a few pounds. My head is hurting less & I don't have chills anymore.

BK, did you get Alex Rybeck's email from Jill O'Hara? How neat!

Thursday morning greetings! Well, Synod Days are here and we're about to head to Lima. Richard's leaving first, I'll go to a retirement reception and come back for Rob and we'll be about 2 hours behind Richard. I will be E & T for the next couple of days, but will check in in the evenings.

Retirement reception? Boy, Ginny, you are really milking your retirement. What has it been? A year, at least? And they are still giving you retirement receptions. This sounds like pure greed to me.

It now appears they want to have sex:

They are growing huge clusters of green sticky skinned hard fleshy fruits.

I hope they are not alien pod-babies.

How can we have gone from 19 pages to 11 pages to 3?
